I know how to in GMax, but can anyone tell me how to in 3DSMax?

I checked on 3DCafe.com, but I couldn't find a tutorial on it.

If I remember correctly, you can assign a second texture to a polygon, using a different map channel, and use the alpha map from the first texture to blend them.

Click the Get material button, and select blend. I think you should be able to go from there.

Not really, could you expand a bit? [Razz]

I did that, and assigned two different diffuse maps to it, but it still only looks like one.

Ok, you're almost there...

You have to put in a Gradient material for a mask. And then use the variables below to change it how you want.

Okay, that works, thanks [Big Grin]

Now...is there anyway to have three materials?

What I have is a cliff texture, mud and grass, and theres one polygon where they all meet.

If not, I could just go without one of them, but it'd look nicer if I could blend all of them there too.
